Arbor Trees To run a Petroleum Generator
I believe this is a mistake here. It claims "1 Petrol Generator requires 18 domesticated, boosted Arbor Trees to run constantly," but I think this is wrong and should only take 3.6 boosted arbor trees. The reasoning is that a boosted Arbor tree once mature grows 5 branches at a time over 2.25 days producing 300 lumber each. 4 ethanol distilleries require 4,000 lumber per second, and (3.6 * 1500) / 1350 = 4 kg of wood every second. Thus it requires 18 Arbor tree branches to run constantly, not 18 whole Arbor trees. As such, it produces a large excess of polluted water, you can purify to use for other purposes, such as oxyferns or just straight up oxygen if needed. What do you think? Is my math correct and this line incorrect? --ChthonicOne (talk) 15:43, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I've trusted oni-db and Arbor Tree page for their output numbers, since I play on older map. If every branch outputs 300 lumber, then it should be corrected there, and you are right, sure. 5.165.32.32 17:53, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
